Hi Greg
What do you collect?
That might determine how much traffic you get.
I've thought about putting parts or all of my WW 1840-1940 collection up, but I have reservations.
There are already two fabulous WW collections available on the web.

Perhaps,a few countries I might have an equal or better collection, but most countries- No.
My ASTP exhibit is on this site as well as the Space Unit website. I have written many articles on space collecting.
My US collection is accessible from the link below my signature. There is a link at the bottom of that page to my US coin collection.
I'm working on a "Stamp from Every Country" stamp collection, and most of it is online, but I prefer not to provide links just yet. Still a lot of work to do!

A nice mint US collection is here - http://album.dweeb.org/
@Lars:
Lars, the thumbnails of your U.S. airmail pages 6 & 6a are different (P. 6 shows the Transport set, and 6a the 6-cent Transport booklet pane), but the linked images are the same (the Transport set).j

Buckster422,
I put my airmail collection on the Web in April. It gets some traffic. Since it's been up less than 90 days, I'm unsure whether the search engines have crawled it.
I used WordPress to build the site. There's a lot of information online about WordPress. Nonetheless, there is a learning curve. The hosting cost is minimal -- about $5 per month, I think. WordPress software is free.
If you use WordPress, I'd be happy to answer questions.

@Bob,
Thanks for pointing that out. It's fixed, but you may not see it unless you use a different browser or a different device to view it because of memory caching. Or wait until tomorrow to check!
Thanks again for pointing that out. I built that site 7 years ago and the structure is very cumbersome. Perhaps some day I will update the whole setup, but I don't have enough time to work with my stamps right now, much less a peripheral effort! Oh well, the joys of being busy.

It's fixed, as you said, Lars. I've done some html formatting, but I don't have a clue how you built your web site. An impressive achievement.
Our son, Paul Ingraham, gifted us with web-authoring software of his own design several months ago. It requires a combination of plain text with Markdown and optional HTML and allow us to create clean-looking web pages with a headline, subheads, bold and italic print, left-, centre- and right-justified images with cutlines, sidebars, and footnotes. It won't be available to anyone else but his mom, and me, and himself because it depends on linking to his server via Dropbox, and he's dealing with enough of a learning curve faced by his parents! But it certainly has speeded up the production of web pages! (I should ad that Paul's motives were not entirely altruistic. He makes his living writing ebooks about pain control (he is a massage therapist), and wanted to simplify the production of web pages for his own needs.)
Here is a snippet of text from one of my web pages, followed by a screenshot of the output:
I hope you will read Low & Slow in a Connie, although it won't be as exciting for you as it was for me. A bonus for you will be to see how cute I was in a navy "Dixie Cup" cap!

I have some of it online, simply post them on Pinterest
Howdy Stampers!
I've been contemplating putting my collection on display on the Internet. I was thinking it would be a good way to show other folks my collection. Before I go to the trouble of setting it up, I wanted to find out if any other collectors have done this. If so, what prompted you to do it? Does your collection get much traffic?
Thanks for your input!
